Following their disbandment in 1997 and short-lived reunion in 2005, Accept reunited again in 2009 with former T.T. Quick frontman Mark Tornillo replacing Dirkschneider, and released their three highest charting albums to date, Blood of the Nations (2010), Stalingrad (2012) and Blind Rage (2014), the latter of which was Accept's first album to reach number one on the charts in their home country. Accept is currently preparing to work on a new album.

Accept was founded in 1996. At the time, the Article 200 from the Romanian legislation was in effect, which criminalised same-sex relationships and contributed to human rights violations, including police abuse against LGBT people. The main aim of Accept, early in its history, was to lobby and campaign against this piece of legislation. Accept had a decisive position in the repeal of Article 200 in 2001. Its role is recognized by everyone fighting for equality of LGBTs, including the European institutions, as it was awarded the 1999 EGALITE Prize in the European Commission, being also nominated for the Sakharov Prize of the same year by the European Parliament.

Run Through The Night

After all we've done - our past is goneFuture is no more - what it used to beWhen we have been more sensibleAnd our world was safeI'm living in this empty roomA room without a doorI run through the nightI can't handle my fearsI run through the nightCannot hide my tearsI run through the nightI'm longing for a smile - dying for a little hopeCan't you see my painI'm with you but - still aloneAt times when we're more sensibleI need you more and moreI am living in this empty rooma room without a doorI run through the nightI can't handle my fearsI run through the nightCannot hide my tears
